I had a Traumatic brain injury once and another time I was strangled and lost consciousness.
Thanks, I will ask my psychiatrist about it.

Schizophrenia can make you laugh at inappropriate times.
I did that a few times when I was on Abilify.

This is perfectly normal.

Yea I also read that it happens in simple sz especially in those with negative symptoms.
Mine isn’t as severe as PseudoBulbar Affect I think.

Probably not if it’s not that severe. Just a suggestion.

I’m at about 95%. That’s an improvement.

No I cannot, sometimes I laugh at the Shriners children hospital commercials

When I was in the hospital I could hear screams of people suffering in hell ( I was hallucinating) and I was laughing then praying apologizing for laughing at the same time and I was laughing at a lot of other inappropriate things too

Do you laugh because, to you, it is genuinely funny, even if other people don’t see it as funny? Or is it just an uncontrollable laughter?

I used to have problems with this but I think I’ve improved by thnkng of it in a certain way

Could it be nerves? A lot of people laugh at inappropriate times because of anxiety

Its uncontrollable.
